Surviving a War Zone
The ongoing conflict Central Myanmar has forced thousands to flee their homes and take refuge in monasteries and forests. These war refugees are facing a difficult winter, with insufficient food, clothing, and medicine to keep them warm and healthy. The harsh conditions, combined with the ongoing conflict, have made it difficult for these communities to get the support they need. We are appealing to kind-hearted donors to consider making a contribution to help support these communities this winter. Your generosity could make all the difference in the lives of these war refugees, who are struggling to survive in the face of such difficult circumstances. Every little bit helps, and no donation is too small. Your support could provide warm blankets, food, clothing, medicine, and other essential aid to help these communities get through this challenging time.
Please allow me to tell you about the situation of the war refugees in Wetlek Township due to what is an unusually cold winter. The attack by the terrorist military council troops continues to be intense. There are frequent raids by the Military Council troops around the town of Wetlek in Central Myanmar's Sagaing Division.
Now we have more than 2,000 displaced people who have fled their rural homes and are having to stay exposed to the elements. Many people who fled the war took refuge in nearby monasteries, but others are now living in forests.
I am very sorry to say that there is not enough food, clothing, consumer goods and medicines for these people who flee their homes, whether they are living in monasteries or in forests.
Because it is a war zone, there is a lack of basic transportation, an overall inconvenience to buy consumer goods, and difficulty in transferring money. Currently, we have only managed to raise the funds domestically for warm blankets. Our report indicates that 60% or more of the elderly population in the evacuees are unable to withstand the cold of winter. Please consider any contribution to help support these communities this winter.
